What We Do
Ending Sexual Violence Against Children
Our Core Themes
At Protect Children, we are driven by our mission to create a world free from child sexual abuse and exploitation. Our work focuses on three core themes that guide our mission and shape our efforts in protecting children. All our work is underpinned by research.
We work to prevent harm before it happens, support victims and survivors, and advocate for stronger protections for children. We empower children, families, and communities with the knowledge to stay safe, and we push for legislative and systemic change to create a safer world for every child.
Support & Serve
We provide therapeutic interventions that are shaped by the voices of victims, survivors, and their families. Our services are designed to empower those affected by child sexual abuse, and support their healing.
